flag Scientists create nitrogen-fixing wheat, reducing need for synthetic fertilizers.

flag Researchers have developed a genetically modified strain of wheat capable of fixing its own nitrogen, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. flag The breakthrough, achieved by enabling the plant to host nitrogen-fixing bacteria in its roots, shows promise in early trials with improved growth in low-nitrogen soils. flag If proven safe and effective, the innovation could lower farming costs, cut pollution from fertilizer runoff, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. flag The technology is still experimental, with commercial use likely years away.
